Abstract
Underground leaching mining of carnallite is a mining method with minimal environmental impact. This method involves the leaching of potassium ions from solid carnallite into a liquid phase and subsequent recovery. Herein, we describe research on the effect of temperature on the process of carnallite dissolution, which is a key factor that affects its underground mining. The kinetics of the carnallite dissolution process has been studied, and dissolution kinetic models have been established under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The carnallite dissolution process conforms to the Stumm model at 298.15, 323.15 and 348.15K. The dissolution kinetics can be expressed as (0.0083T-2.511)Aexp(-E/RT)t=-1/1.4799 (2.23-c)^1.4799 under non-isothermal conditions. The concentration of potassium ions in the process of leaching mining can thereby be predicted. This model may provide guidance for more effective underground leaching mining of carnallite.
